Description

I'm trying to download a YouTube video. I'm getting the error above. However, I noticed that the version listed above (2019.04.07) is not the version of youtube-dl that I have installed.

I'm on a Mac. When I type:
brew upgrade youtube-dl

Homebrew reports:
Error: youtube-dl 2019.07.14 already installed

I don't know if this is a Homebrew problem or youtube-dl problem.

Try which youtube-dl

Aha! So my system is messed up. I had previously attempted to install youtube-dl via pip, but that didn't seem to work. I uninstalled it (or maybe I just deleted what I saw) then installed Homebrew and then youtube-dl via Homebrew.

So when I type:
which youtube-dl

It responds with:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/youtube-dl

The date of the version in there is 4/11/19. That's obviously what's running.

So what is the cleanest way for me to get rid of that version and convince my computer to look in /usr/local/bin instead?

Ah! I just deleted the old one, quit Terminal, then relaunched it. Everything works now!
